shannons are idiots, i had a person hit me on the side and the accident wasnt my fault at all and they want me to get a driving history, when everytime i get a fine or what ever i ring the person at shannons of which i have been dealing with for the past 5 years and let him know.

so repairs wont comence until i do that, which i crap when i wasnt my fault the guy turned in to me on a straight piece of road the police even stated that also motor reg is open 8:30-4pm and i work 8:30-5pm and Steve will vouch i dont really get a lunch break ever so i cant go down there and anyway it costs money.

Anyway i have spoken to a few ppl in the industrie and they even cant understand why im being treated like this

so thats why im going through the company that hit me

If i could use race tape to fix it i would luke lol

the way i got mine done fast is u just keep calling them, there will be an adelaide branch of ur insurance company just call them every single day and ask if its moved forwood a step.. i did this with both my write offs, the 1st 2 weeks or so are slow coz they get shitty with u, but after that they just get over it and hurry up :P as for the petrol situation... b less boost happy haha i duno!

mine is shannons full comp and 115.00 pr month idiots

his i dont know they wont tell me i have to wait until tuesday if i havent heard from the assessor to call back

I'm sure they're obligated to inform you details of their insurer. :P

yeah i'd be going after him a million miles an hour. If he's admitted liability, then pester him daily for either payment or his ins company's details.

A formal letter to him giving him 7 days to respond with his intentions would've been the way to go....if you don't get anywhere with him and you still want to go with a letter, you might be able to use my companies letterhead. Official letters tend to speak louder than personal ones.

Alternatively, depending on the exact details of the accident, I'm happy to give him a ring for you and see if I have better luck. Unfortunately he probably sees you as someone he can stuff around and draw the whole process out.......people like that annoy me. If he is not accepting liability, that may explain his lack of cooperation.

    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
    • I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
